 Indian Tibet : Tany-yar, 14,300 feet, 241-VI-32, 4 ex. ; Lukung, 14,000 feet, 8-VII-32, 

 3 ex.; Ign region, 12,000 feet, VIII-32, 3 ex. 



First discovered in Rupshu and near Leh. The species seems to be almost confined to 

 that region, but Mr. II. (i. Champion found specimens in northern Kuniaon near the Tibetan 

 frontier, and he reports that they were "taken with (icodrouiiciis in running water."

Indian Tibet: Stream at Khalatse, 9600 feet, 29-V-32, 2 ex.; Iliniis, 21-V1-32, 

 3 ex. "under leaves or damp moss; dark soil." The two examples from Khalatse are in 

 poor condition and cannot be identified with certainty. 



This species was described from specimens taken in Tibet at 10,000-12,000 feet, by the 

 Third Mount Everest Expedition, and is confined to the high regions of the Himalayas.

 Month. Mag. 1924, p. 194. 



Indian Tibet : Matyan, 10,000 feet, 20-V-32, 4 ex. 



Known only from Kashmir and Kumaon. The specimens found are a little smaller than 

 the type and have a greenish instead of a bluish tinge — as have the 'Kumaon examples. 

 There are some variations too in the colour of the basal joints of the antennae, of the tibiae 

 and the tarsi so that the identification is not altogether satisfactory.

 la region occidentale de I'Himalaya, 1914, par Guy Babault, Carab. 1924, p. 75. 

 Indian Tibet: Himis, 21-VI-32, 2 ex.; "under leaves or damp moss; dark soil"; 

 Tang-tse, Mugleb, 14,000 feet, 27-VI-32, 2 ex. 



Widely spread throughout the western Himalayas, and very variable in colour. In the 

 Tang-tse specimens the four pale spots on the elytra are very clearly marked, but those from 

 llimis are dark, with the pale spots barely visible. 



9. Bembidion fuscicrus Motchulsky, Etudes Ent. iv. 1855, p. 79. 



Pangur-tso, 14,200 feet, 14-Vni-32, 1 ex.; Tso-nyak region, 14,300 feet, VIII-32, 1 ex. 



Found throughout Central Asia and Siberia, also in the western states of North America. 

 As in the case of so many widely spread species, there is great variability in the coloration; 

 the two examples in question arc very pale and hardly difi'er from specimens in my collection 

 from Montana and Oregon.
